Let It Be Morning, an Israeli film by director Eran Kolirin, is the story of Sami a Palestinian-born Israeli citizen living in Jerusalem who is invited to his brother’s wedding. He has to return to the Arab village where he grew up and which he left for other opportunities. After the wedding ends, Sami's hometown is put under a military blockade lockdown. The power is cut and the villagers are trapped by an Israeli roadblock.
When chaos erupts amongst the villagers who begin to run out of food and water, Sami is also cut off from the outside world and unable to return to his work in Jerusalem. Trapped in an unexpected situation, he deals with questions about his own identity. As hidden secrets are revealed, Sami watches everything he holds dear begin to fall apart.
The film is now available on Amazon Prime for a modest fee. Please let us know if you have any difficulty locating the program.

Brady Corbet’s epic film, The Brutalist, was rightly honored in this year’s awards season. The protagonist, Laszlo Toth, is a peculiar hero, both hollowed and enriched by the experience of suffering.
